Hi Wjc12, Congrats on your new role!
I'm currently going through recruitment with VA right now, and successfully passed the 2nd Round Interview in mid-November, and was told they would conduct my reference checks within a week. After waiting 2 months none of my referees have received a call (though a recruiter made at least one attempt in December but failed to reach my referee at that time).
How long after your 2nd round interview did you receive your next confirmation email confirming you were in the talent pool? I know 2 of the 4 who attended my 2nd AD have already completed their medicals as of December.
I'm SO eager to join Virgin, I absolutely adore the airline so I'm anxious to hear how my experience compares and how I may best assist the process so I can get in as fast as possible. I'm so ready to give Virgin my all!
Congrats again, I'm very happy for you!
